From the moment I saw Pauline's photos, I knew she had to be my photographer. Then once I spoke to…read moreher, I knew she was someone special. She is truly the kind of photographer I would recommend to every single bride without hesitation. If I could give one piece of advice to future brides, it would be to choose true professionals who are not only talented but also deeply experienced. That is exactly who Pauline and why she is the photographer every bride needs in her corner on wedding day. From the very start, Pauline made me feel so supported. She didn't just show up with a camera, she brought wisdom, calm, and the kind of guidance that is needed. She also connected me with two other incredible creatives, Carly from Black Shutter Media for videography and Bianca from BTS by Beee for content creation. Together, they were the DREAM TEAM working seamlessly to capture every angle of the most important day of my life. Pauline's shooting style is unlike anything I've ever seen before. She takes the time to understand your vision and then elevates it into something even more breathtaking. The photos she delivered bring me to tears every time I look at them. Guests still can't stop raving about how amazing our photographer was and I couldn't agree more.

During the wedding planning process, there was nothing more important to me than finding the right…read morephotographer. Photos are forever and it felt like a lot of pressure to find someone who we could trust to both capture our day authentically and in a style that felt like us, while also keeping us calm and comfortable in the process (I mean- you end up spending just as much time with your photographer as you do with your spouse!) We took careful time to research many different photographers and there is no doubt in my mind that we made the BEST choice by hiring Pauline. She exceeded all expectations and was truly such a special part of our day. From our initial conversation, I was immediately drawn to Pauline's kind, gentle spirit. We also fell in love with Pauline's timeless photography style. Her photos look real (not overly filtered as so many often do). She captures moments in such a beautiful, classic, and authentic way. We knew that the photos she took would never go out of style and would perfectly capture this moment in time for us. Pauline photographed both our engagement photos and our wedding. She was highly communicative and organized throughout the entire process. She worked hand in hand with our coordinator and other vendors to ensure a smooth day. She was one of the first vendors we booked. As we booked other vendors and told them we were working with Pauline, they immediately sung her praises and were excited to get to work with her again, too! There were a lot of photos I wanted captured and she built out a clear and organized timeline that we were able to share with everyone who needed to be photographed. The day ran so smoothly that we were actually ahead of schedule! Your wedding day can be filled with little butterflies, but Pauline just has such a naturally calming presence. She helped us all feel at ease and so comfortable. What I also really appreciated was that she allowed my husband and I the space to soak in the tiny in between moments and enjoy every bit of the day together. When we got our sneak peek photos back from her, we were floored! They are SO GOOD. We could not be more grateful to have gotten to work with Pauline.

Just as another person wrote in their review, after just a few minutes of talking with Pierre and getting to know one another, My family and I felt comfortable, as if we had been friends for a long time which is so important in capturing great pictures.

His sense of humor and lighthearted personality made the experience enjoyable for both the couple and the vendor team. From what I've seen on social media, his work is absolutely stunning, and I can't wait to see the full gallery from our event.

A year later, she took our family's pictures for our son's one year birthday (cake smash) as well as for the holiday cards.

She has a natural talent for finding perfect poses and the experience to get great angles. She also does locations other than her studio for photo shoots. For our maternity pictures we were at the beach and for our family pics we went to a hiking trail. She's able to taylor yo meet your needs.
